Pull-Through Mermaid Braid

For a few years now, moms have emailed in to ask me why we quit posting “Mom Minute” advice articles and videos here on CGH. I really loved doing it, but we really wanted to do something much bigger than an occasional post!

So I took the past year to scour the online world looking for moms who were talented, fun, and wonderful mothers who could help me on this project! (What I found is that “nearly all” mothers are talented, fun, and wonderful moms, making the job that much harder!)

Our family is excited to announce today the launch of our 3rd YouTube channel, MillennialMoms! A total of 8 different moms will post videos, each taking a day of the week, Mon-Sat @10am CST. They’ll touch on anything from from DIYs, Lifestyle, Food, Humor, Advice, Music Parodies, Parenting, and all things Mom!

Be sure to click here to be notified of each NEW episode! (I am so excited, I can hardly stand it!)

Now, the inspiration for this week’s hairstyle tutorial has been going around Facebook a ton lately, in a language that I can’t understand. I first saw it on Giang Popper’s Facebook page, but it has gone viral ever since. We think it is perfect as a Christmas hairstyle!

So today, we are going to teach you how to create the Pull-Through Mermaid Braid, by simply adding a banded ponytail to the top of the head and pulling the hair through the segments from both sides. The technique leaves a very elegant-looking braid that can be worn dressed up or down for almost any occasion {I would recommend not using this braid for an active day, including sports, dance, gymnastics, etc}.
